Model Finley needs someone to help her shed her “good girl” persona, so she’ll try Eddie on for size.
New York City model Finley is fed up with hearing the same feedback at castings: she needs to take some serious action to wipe the “good girl” stamp from her resume if she wants to launch to stardom.
Enter Eddie Wells. He’s shallow, predictable…and just as lost as Finley feels. Deep down, Finley is drawn to Eddie’s bravado, his intensity. Except Eddie is hiding something. A big something. And when it surfaces, both loving and leaving Finley will become so much harder.

Fin & Eddie are each other’s escape from real life to a certain extent. They can be goofy together and just enjoy life. I think that’s really important don’t take life too seriously.

There’s a lot of chaos that goes on in this book and I think Fin and Eddie can both relate to this song at different time frames.

There’s a point in the book where the two are together on the lawn watching the stars and I can’t help but think that they wouldn’t mind being off on an adventure together.
